WTF Is This Bizarre Paris Hilton Barbie Photo Shoot Even About

In case you missed it, Paris Hilton did something weird and probably a bit unsavoury...again.

At first glance, you might take a look at these pictures of Paris Hilton wearing Moschino and pretending to be Barbie and think: "Oh look, there's Paris Hilton, wearing Moschino and pretending to be Barbie."

But a second perusal of the images is more likely to solicit the response: "Hang on, what's going on, the dude is headless, a girl appears to be crying, there seems to be a naked child on a bed..."

WHAT ACTUALLY IS ALL THIS?

Let's unpack the pictures....

The shoot appeared as part of Odda Magazine's 'Decades' series and Paris was chosen to represent the '90s.

In the photos, she's been made up to look like a Barbie, wearing a number of pink Jeremy Scott for Moschino outfits, coldly staring out of her make-up exaggerated eyes, pouting her plumped up lips and posing, stiffly in a variety of different situations.

So far, so fashion.

But then it all starts to get a little bit uncomfortable.

A closer inspection of some of the scenes will reveal another girl in the background who appears to be upset, turning her head away from a naked man.

What's happened here? Why is she sad? And why is he looming over her as she cries, wearing nothing but a pink towel clutched in front of his groin?

Reminiscent of some lewd motel scene, it's all a bit creepy.

Also, there are a load of naked Barbies scattered thoughout the room, which adds an extra pinch of creep.

In another of the pictures, Paris can be seen destroying someone's birthday cake with her fists, which really isn't very nice of her. Poor birthday-person, that's all we keep thinking.

But it's this final image that's really the most concerning.

The picture appears to depict a young girl - albeit a plastic one - naked, face down, rear up, on her bed, while Paris, who seems to have torn a giant hole in her wall, watches.

Erm, the mixture of voyeurism and implied underage nudity is.... we've run out of synonyms for "uncomfortable", so you'll have to insert your own descriptive terms.

Odda Magazine's Instagram post seems to claim this is a depiction of "a perfect Barbie world."

PERFECT?
